Registry

Definitions

1. A centralized service that stores and indexes versioned packages, container images, or other artifacts so they can be discovered and downloaded by tooling. Examples include npm (JavaScript packages), PyPI (Python), Docker Hub (container images), and Maven Central (Java).

   In plain English: An online catalog where software packages and tools are stored so developers can easily find and download them.

   Example: "We published the library to our private npm registry so other teams can install it without cloning the monorepo."
